Essentially called "Hearts of Palm." Comes from our sabal palm trees down here in the south east. You can buy it canned, but not as good as the fresh cut.
Advantages of living down here in the swamps . We have a whole vegetable garden here and all kinds of critters too eat if you get lost.
Disadvantage is some of the critters can eat you if you aint careful.
Meat and fish, in a survival mode is good. But probably a good idea too learn what nutritious veggies are in your a.o..
Their out there, if you know which ones too eat.

I don't think I've had that yet but it's hard to say. When ever we visit the in-laws family in N and S Carolina all types of things end up on the table.
I took a liking to those little orange Palmetto fruits. Sorta like a date or a fig. (?)
Swarms of bees all around them but if you don't make a commotion while your robbing them, they won't sting you.
Had it once, long ago. There used to be a restaurant in Spearfish, SD called "The Sluice." They had the usual chicken and beef entrees, but also numerous "seasonal" exotic foods and for a price would arrange to obtain almost any entree requested by a customer. IIRC, one particular meal I ordered included ostrich and what they called palm heart. I remember the ostrich being a bit dry but can't remember the taste of the palm heart.

Haven't had it, but first heard it mentioned in the post-Apocalypse novel Alas, Babylon, which was set in central Florida. Great book, and it covered in detail how the survivors made use of the natural resources.
Very nutritious and grows down in the south east like a weed. Kind of on the expensive side in the restaurants down here.
Every local event down here has pots of swamp cabbage cooking.
Called swamp cabbage, but tastes nothing like the standard cabbage plant.
I will try too do a picture series on how too cut and prepare it.
One average size plant can provide a family of four, all the veggiies they need for a week.

Looking forward to that, I am out on the Left Coast so it does not grow here "au natural" but I had me this nutball Cajun friend who used to serve it all the time. Salads, soups, sides.....I never really developed a taste for the stuff, but it really was not bad. I think if I had it now, I might like it a lot better.
Please concentrate on the prep for eating as well. I have found that some of the techniques used for one kind of plant can work for others too. I understand that some kinds of yucca are edible, but require special prep to ensure you don't end up pissing blood.
Anyway, Please do post soon.

I've had hearts of palm before, and really like it...but had always bought it as a side in a restaurant. I live in SC, so look forward to your instruction and photos on how to harvest, and prepare it, yourself.
I love hearts of palm, cold in a salad, excellent texture and flavor. I live in Florida, but have always bought it in the store, never harvested any in the wild. It would be great if you could post the pics of the cut and prep work, look forward to seeing that!
